Do you ship spice and dry fruit alongside rice?

Yes. Alongside rice we export Indian spices (chilli, turmeric, cumin, coriander, fennel, cardamom, garam masala blends), dry fruit and nuts (cashew W180–W400, almond, raisin, fig), pulses (toor, chana, moong), and seasonal fresh produce (Kesar, Alphonso and Banganapalli mangoes) on cold-chain.

What is 1509 basmati rice?

1509 is a short-duration premium basmati cultivar — grain length 8.0–8.4 mm, fragrant, lower-yield-risk than 1121 and priced below it. Increasingly preferred by HoReCa, biryani-chain and value-retail buyers.

How does 1509 differ from 1121 basmati?

1121 is the longest commercial basmati at 8.30 mm+ and commands a premium. 1509 is slightly shorter (8.0–8.4 mm), matures faster on the farm, and trades at a lower price point — making it the value-premium choice without leaving the basmati family.

What's the minimum order quantity for 1509 basmati export?

One 20ft FCL — approximately 25 metric tonnes. LCL trial shipments of 5–10 MT are accepted for new-buyer first orders under L/C or 100% advance.

Can you blend 1509 with 1121 in the same shipment?

Yes. Custom 1121/1509 blends are common for retail brands locking specific price points. Blend ratios are locked in the PI and certified on the COA.

Which countries import 1509 basmati from Vilora Impex?

UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman, Kuwait, Bahrain, Jordan, Lebanon, Egypt, Kenya, Tanzania, Maldives, Singapore and Malaysia. HoReCa biryani chains and value-retail brands are the fastest-growing segments.
